AppleScript and NSOpenPanel in Lion

-

hi folks,

i'm 'porting' of snow leopard scripts lion using applescript editor , i'm having significant problems getting nsopenpanel's openpanel() working. in original script used code along lines of:

code:
tell application "automator runner" tell «class opep»  		  	get it's properties    	set floating true  	set «class cacd» true  	set «class almt» true  	set «class titl» "select items matroskify"  	  	«event appscalm» "setshowshiddenfiles:" given «class psof»:it, «class witp»:{false}    	activate  	if («event pansdisp» it) not 0 -- cancel button  		--the path names property list of posix paths  		set posixpaths it's «class filo»  	end if    end tell
in lion got errors regarding use of «class cacd», dug around bit , ended with:

code:
set myopenpanel current application's nsopenpanel's openpanel()  myopenpanel's setcanchoosefiles_(true)  myopenpanel's setcanchoosedirectories_(true)  myopenpanel's setallowsmultipleselection_(false)  myopenpanel's runmodal -- returns list of file url's  set posixpaths myopenpanel's urls()
while compiles, 'nsopenpanel doesn’t understand openpanel message' when wrap in on run ... end run block , run it.

enlighten me stupid mistake i've made time?

in advance...
 

you can't run cocoa applescripts directly in applescript editor - there cocoa-applescript applet template can create editor run code, although debugging bit of pain. option use applescriptobjc explorer.
